The sportiest Q5 gets caught by our photographers.

More power for the Audi Q5? It makes sense. BMW’s X3 makes up to 300 hp, and the Infiniti EX35 is just behind with 297 hp. By contrast, the top-spec Audi Q5 3.2 FSI makes 270 hp, and its V-6 isn’t really among those powerplants we’d call flexible and sporty. If Audi wants to be regarded as the “sportiest premium brand”—a goal we’ve often heard mentioned in Ingolstadt—installing its more charismatic and powerful engines into a wider range of products is essential.
